Directions
The Only Chocolate Cake Recipe You’ll Ever Need! (Devil’s Food),This chocolate cake is absolutely thee best we have ever had. It is so moist and rich, I never make anything else (unless I am short on time 🙂 The frosting recipe included goes perfectly with this cake, but you can use any frosting you like. Try this once and you’ll see why I call it “The Only Chocolate Cake Recipe You’ll Ever Need”!! Adding 2/18/06: I want to note that I recently used sweetened whipped heavy cream with vanilla and it was just as fabulous as the frosting recipe listed, plus much easier. I also used hazelnut coffee in the cake and it added even more of a little extra something!,Kudos to you for this great recipe. Using an Ermine Buttercream Frosting is also a nice twist. use an Ermine on Red Velvet cakes as it’s the original and authentic frosting for Velvet Cakes. Of the 6 classic buttercreams – American, Ermine, French, German, Swiss, and Italian – it’s the closest in texture to whipped cream and is the most stable in heat.,I’m trying to make two smaller cakes for two birthdays next month, and I wanted to know if I could make the batter and keep it chilled for two or three weeks until I could make the second batch?
